im excited for you too islandgirl... are you from toronto?

I have a great variety of feelings these days. I often feel very melancholy. I was very excited when my referral was sent in and even more so after my first conversations with the staff in Montreal. Waiting and not knowing the timeline is not helping. I jump every time a beep goes off on my phone!

I am on Vancouver Island, hence 'islandgirl'. I will continue to follow you on your journey.

Hugs,
Kelly

Yes, I do know that I will need to wait for surgery. My reaction is partly due to the information I received in July.

what information did you receive?

I got the impression from Adrienne that once the referral made it through to the clinical nurse, I should hear from them in a few weeks (month). I realize that they had the summer holiday period in there. I guess I was just being hopeful. Adrienne did say that the surgery date would be six to eight months away from email date.

OMG im so excited for you text me when you get there! Ill see you tomorrow at the bed and breakfast!

Happy Thanksgiving! (I thought I had posted this already but didn't go through) What a Thanksgiving this is for you! Have a great trip to Montreal. It is wonderful that you will have friends with you there. I am very curious about the facilities and the B and B. We have been looking at the B and B site and like the looks of the rooms. Planning ahead, you know. Enjoy the next couple of days. Are there pre tests that you need to have done in Montreal?

Hugs,
Kelly

I haven't been told about any more tests, but I'll let you know over the next 48 hours!

Sometimes they will put you right at the recovery house if it is not full and skip the B&B. You won't know this info till they send you the letter. There shouldn't be any more tests once you are heading there. Just remember to try not to stuff yourself with all the food you see, because it will make your bowel movement post surgery quite challenging. Have plenty of fiber and prune juice post surgery to make everything easier. And good luck ladies 😊 you will treasure this moment for years to come, I know I did.

How bad do you think one pre-surgery poutine would be? [emoji14]

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Anthing that will make you have to push is a big no no. If you don't remember ever having to push after poutine then I guess it is ok. It is the pushing that they don't want you to do because it can affect the stiches.
